Thread: Deer Rifle 270 or 25-06

I just can't get my head around the 25-06, it seems to me to be one of those calibers where the case outperforms any available projectiles by such a wide margin you may as well just go buy a 243.
270 on the other hand will perform excellent even with a 20" barrel, and it will do it with 150gr projectiles.

There's just no good reason to own a 25-06.

THEY GO BANG AND SHIT FALLS OVER.

WHY ARE YOU YELLING KAWHIA? IS THAT ALL THAT GUNPOWDER BEING WASTED OUT THE END????

EH!? CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THIS YELLING!!

Guys you've scared him off fuck it

CAPS LOCK was on.....work pc

Years of 25-06 abuse has left him deaf

Tikka Hunter 25-06 still wish I hadnt sold it. The calibre used as standard by the UK Forestry Commission Rangers, on Reds, Fallow, Roe, Sika etc, so must be good for something

Just because you're doing it doesn't make it right - sunshine.
If you think .25-06 is the best tahr cartridge you're way wide of the mark.
And get off your high horse - you have fuck all idea what I have shot, what with and where.

25-06 no good for fallow or reds that's simply crazy talk lol the calibre was pretty much made for those 2 medium size thin skinned game , look at ballistics chart & tell me how you cant get a 117 or 120 gn pill out to 400 for an effective kill Tahr are thicker skinned but not bullet proof !!

You are just a retarded wee lemon lacking in comprehension skills.

Not once did I claim 2506 was/is the best cartridge for Tahr. I did however point out that I have used it forever, and other cartridges for valid comparison.

It is, however, one of my favorite cartridges. I've shot lots of Fallow with a .243, you want to complain about that choice? Well it will really rip your nighty to learn it is common here to use .223 on Fallow, goats and big reds.

You are right however, about one thing: I have "fuck all idea" about what you have shot, possibly because it is "fuck all"!!!!

No, 2506s at 20 yards, but a handbag is no doubt deadlier
